This fascinating cultural history of music in Los Angeles focuses
on orchestral performance from the late nineteenth century through
World War II. Decentralization defined Los Angeles's growth since
the late nineteenth century, and because the central city did not
dominate the city's music culture as was the case in cities of the
East and Midwest, a greater diversification of music emerged.
Performers and audiences included Latinos, Euro-Americans, Asian
Americans, and African Americans, but the notion of diversity in
the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century city went well
beyond ethnicity--it also included a "media diversity," as the
city's musical output was presented through a variety of channels
including recordings, radio, and film. These media strongly
influenced the musical culture of Los Angeles, which in turn
influenced the musical culture of America at large as the city grew
into the nation's epicenter of entertainment. The book features a
CD providing examples of much of the music examined. In addition,
there are further support materials on the author's website: http:
